I Stumbled on a news that "Betting Companies in Uganda Luring Students to lost their Futures" with fake bonuses and promise of big wins. According to the explanation, the time you use in the casino affect your future and life which would have been used for studies. They use an idiomatic expression to portray the point by saying that " robbers came to steal money which your properties", but casinos came to steal your time, which will affect everything in your life in the future. So their brighten futures only ended up in gambling. And they further said the 30% of the students are well engaged in online gambling instead of focusing their students. And for "Sports Betting" and the money that is meant for tuition fees were used in this act.
And that prompt the regulators to come up and say that gambling companies are exploiting the students with unrealistic wins. And research shows that 97% of the students used mobile phones to gamble online during school hours as a disguised as entertainment.

How Betting Companies Luring Students to Lost their Future Students use tuition fees for sports betting, and drop outThis is an alarming issues concerning students.
What is your say in this critical issue against gambling companies?
Gambling companies clearly know how to target emotional and impulsive behavior and students, who are under pressure, often fall for easy money promises. When tuition fees start going into bets, that’s no longer entertainment that's exploitation.
I’ve seen something similar in my country too. students betting in classrooms, hiding it behind sports interest. It's not just about money it drains focus, time and self-worth.
Honestly, I believe governments should impose stronger rules on gambling ads especially those that reach minors and students.
